"Ok men get comfortable." the captain said as we were about to cross a bridge. I wasn't quite sure who he was but I was smart enough to follow his orders. We were in a small convoy of humvies posted in Venezuela sent there to control a small guerrilla force called the Heykway. At first when I was posted here I wasn't very excited about being in Venezuela with the bugs and everything but eventually I got used to it. "Smith!" the captain said . He was a middle aged guy with a mustache and he had standard body armor. His eyes were hidden by some sunglasses. " What sir ?" I responded curiously. "When we get to the embassy I want you to set up a perimeter wach." He barked. I thought about it and figured we were heading to some sort of embassy (we weren't told by our actual captain ,captain Johnson, where we were going). I was about to get some shut eye when suddenly someone said, " Get out of the car ! Heykway! They must have made an ambush! ". We stopped on a bridge and were shooting at some trees sort of to our left . I had an assault rifle and 2 grenades. The sound of bullets pelting the foliage would make any vegan go mad. "Get in the car ! We're overwhelmed!" the captain ordered. I sprinted toward the car and got in. We started off towardsthe end of the bridge,three other humvies were following us . I was looking out my window and I noticed the rocket heading our way. Time seemed to slow down as the projectile screamed right towards us. "BANG!". There was a flash of light outside and I figured the rocket must have hit our tire. Then I saw the sky moving all around us. At first I had no idea what happened. It happened so fast my heart seemed to stop beating. Then we crashed into something very hard . I saw the car sinking and I knew we must have hit the river. I stopped thinking about everyone else in the car and opened the door. Water flooded in and some how I broke the current and got out. I got to the surface and climbed on land. Then I blacked out. I was awakened by a shake on the shouder.
